Turn the World Around

I found this video when my brother sent us the Muppets on DVD as a Christmas present for my daughter, then not quite two.

I love the line Harry Belafonte tells Fozzie during the song’s opening dialogue, “All of us, we’re here for a very very short time, and in that time we’re here, there really isn’t any difference in any of us, IF we take time out to understand each other. The question is, do I know who you are? Do you know who I am? Do we care about each other? Because if we do, we can turn the world around.”

It’s a double challenge — to be open to getting to know other people, and also to allow ourselves to be known.
